Interior text

Had man reached the last uncrossable barrier?

Planet after planet had succumbed to Earthmen's spaceward drive. Now there remained only the great unknown that existed beyond the Solar System. What Earthmen did not know was that outside Pluto another terrible force lay in wait — determined that man had conquered his last world.

Jed Ambro's job on Pluto was supervising the training of robots for the great day when man would push out into the Space Sea. But that was before he found himself suddenly transformed into a flesh-and-blood robot manipulated by an "alien" power.

Science-fiction at its best, this new novel opens up yet another frontier of the explosive vastness of space.
